UofI Rush Week Theme 2004: Abu Ghraib Style Prison Torture

As of three weeks ago, ginandtacos.com has a weekly column in Champaign-Urbana's independent newspaper "The Hub." All three of us here have attended the University of Illinois at some point (Ed for a year, I as an undergrad, and Erik as an undergrad and currently as a grad student), so it's a natural fit. We'll soon put up the columns that we have written so far, but until then hunt down the newspaper.

As part of last week's column about the abuse of POWs in Iraq, titled "We too are unfamiliar with the Geneva Convention", we examined arguments proposed on the right, notably by Hannity and Limbaugh, that what happened at Abu Ghraib is no worse than what goes on at fraternities.

Since none of us have ever been in one, we were caught a little off guard. Glow-sticks? Attack dogs? That didn't sound like rush week, but what did we know?

As journalists we took advantage of UofI's strong greek presence and wrote a letter to the Interfraternity Council asking them about the link:

An open letter to the Interfraternity Council.

As they have yet to respond, we can only assume the worst.

  • My esteemed roommate, Mr. Nissen, just pointed out that we should have asked if the fraternity members who commit these acts are full members or fraternity reservists.
